We often wonder why in terms of personal experience.
A futile question to ask, for the many causes cannot be determined.
We have never been a blank slate, to arrive at this moment sui generis.
We come with so many stories behind us that push us where we are today.
We are the authors of them all and continue to narrate our ongoing tales.
These, interwoven with the chronicles of others, shape the current scene.
All we can do is attempt to ensure our ongoing accounts are the best we can tell.
Let us choose words more carefully that spread kindness and compassion.
